Revenue for fiscal 2012 was $19.81 million, representing an increase of $5.0 million or 26.1% over the comparable twelve months ended June 30, 2011.

Gross profit was $7.34 million, representing an increase of $1.38 million or 23.0% when compared to the same twelve month period the year before. The increase was a result of both higher sales volume and higher revenue achieved as the Company increased its focus on the Chinese domestic market. Gross margin as a percentage of sales for fiscal 2012 was 37.2% compared with 38.2% for the same twelve month period the year before.
EBITDA was $1.5 million, representing an increase of 15.8% over the twelve months ended June 30, 2011.
